Set a five-minute drive from the basalt stones of Reis Magos Beach, this homely apartment is the perfect base for short sojourns and longer stays on Madeira’s south coast. Inside, soothing neutral tones take precedence – expect whitewashed walls, polished wood floors and greige textiles. The kitchen has everything you need for rustling up Portuguse-inspired dishes – enjoy your meals on the terrace with unfettered Atlantic Ocean views.

After planning your itinerary from the comfort of the sofa, head out and explore your surroundings. Funchal, the island’s capital, is around a fifteen-minute drive away. Enjoy a moment of stillness in Santa Catarina Park before strolling around the charming Zona Velha. If you’d prefer to stay closer to home, check out the clifftop Cristo Rei monument.
